Icewm: Trying to move taskbar to right

 In IceWM, the taskbar is typically located at the bottom of the screen. If you want to move the taskbar to the right side of the screen, you'll need to modify the IceWM configuration. Here's how you can do it:


1. **Edit the IceWM Configuration File**:

   IceWM's configuration is typically stored in a file called `.icewm/preferences` in your home directory. You can edit it using a text editor. For example:


   ```bash

   nano ~/.icewm/preferences

   ```


2. **Find or Add the TaskBar Configuration**:

   Look for the section that configures the taskbar. If it's not present, you can add it. The lines may look something like this:


   ```plaintext

   TaskBarShowWorkspaces=1

   TaskBarShowShowDesktopButton=1

   TaskBarShowMinimizeButton=1

   TaskBarShowWindowListMenu=1

   TaskBarShowWindowNames=0

   TaskBarShowWindowIcons=1

   TaskBarShowClock=1

   TaskBarShowAPMStatus=1

   TaskBarAtTop=0

   ```


3. **Change `TaskBarAtTop`**:

   To move the taskbar to the right side of the screen, you should set `TaskBarAtTop` to `0`, which means "No." Here's the modified line:


   ```plaintext

   TaskBarAtTop=0

   ```


4. **Save the Configuration File**:

   After making the change, save the configuration file and exit the text editor.


5. **Restart IceWM**:

   You will need to restart IceWM for the changes to take effect. You can usually do this by logging out and then logging back in. Alternatively, you can restart IceWM by pressing `Ctrl + Alt + Backspace`, but be cautious as this will log you out of your session.


After these steps, your taskbar should be on the right side of the screen in IceWM. If you encounter any issues, be sure to double-check your configuration changes and refer to the IceWM documentation or user manual for more details.

bad character U+002D '-' in my helm template

 In Helm templates, the hyphen character (`-`) can sometimes be treated as a reserved character, particularly when defining values or labels. To include a hyphen character in a Helm template without issues, you can use one of the following approaches: 1. **Quoting the Hyphen:**    You can enclose the hyphen in double quotes, like this:    ```yaml    key: "-"    ```    This way, Helm will interpret the hyphen as a string rather than an operator. 2. **Using Backticks:**    If you need to use the hyphen within a Go template function or inside backticks, you can escape it with a backslash (`\`), like this:    ```yaml    value: `{{ .Values.someField | printf "%s \\-" }}`    ```    The backslash prevents Helm from interpreting the hyphen as a special character. 3. **Variable Assignment:**    Assign the value to a variable and use it. For example:    ```yaml    {{- $hyphen := "-" }}    key: {{ $hyphen }}    ```    This way, you can use the variable `$hyphen` wher

GitLab pipeline stopped working with invalid yaml error

 When your GitLab pipeline has stopped working with an "invalid YAML" error, it means there's a problem with your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This could be due to syntax errors, incorrect indentation, or other issues in your pipeline configuration. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check for Syntax Errors**:    Carefully review your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for any syntax errors. Common issues include missing colons, indentation problems, or mismatched quotation marks. Use a YAML linter or an online YAML validator to identify and correct syntax errors. 2. **Indentation**:    YAML relies heavily on proper indentation. Make sure that all lines within the same block have consistent indentation (typically using spaces, not tabs). Incorrect indentation can cause YAML parsing errors. 3. **Dashes and Lists**:    Ensure that you use the correct syntax for lists (arrays) in YAML by starting each item with a dash (`-`). Be consistent with your use of dashes throug

How do I add a printer in OpenSUSE which is being shared by a CUPS print server?

 To add a printer in openSUSE that is being shared by a CUPS print server, you can use the following steps: 1. **Ensure CUPS Client is Installed:**    Make sure your openSUSE system has the CUPS client tools installed. You can install them using the following command:    ```bash    sudo zypper install cups-client    ``` 2. **Discover Available Printers:**    Use the `lpinfo` command to discover available printers on your CUPS print server. Replace `cups-server-hostname` with the hostname or IP address of your CUPS server:    ```bash    lpinfo -v -h cups-server-hostname:631    ```    This command should list the printers shared by the CUPS server. 3. **Add a Printer:**    Use the `lpadmin` command to add a printer. Replace `printer-name` with the name of the printer you want to add and `printer-uri` with the URI obtained from the `lpinfo` command:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v printer-uri    ```    For example:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v socket://cu
